Seseli species?- Bilaspur, Chhatishgarh


I’d of a possible Umbellifer: 2 high res. images.
Request for I’d of a possible Umbellifer from Bilaspur. Photographed in April, 2022.


Possibly Achillea sp….. look like a member of the Apiaceae (Umbellifer) family, although it is actually a member of the Daisy family.
…..  is a group of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae,
There are many…see Kew Plant List.

I got confused seeing the inflorescence.


Fruits look that of Apiaceae.


Zoomed in for a close look. Ignore suggestion for Achillea!


On pursuing comparative images at Apiaceae, I feel it may be Seseli (more likely) or Pimpinela
Species found in your area will help.


Seseli petrosciadium Pimenov & Kljuykov ??


I think it looks different and also does not have distribution in Chhattisgarh as per POWO– specimen.
I also tried species listed in BSI Flora of India, but could not find any match.


OK


Seseli nudum (Lindl.) Pimenov & Kljuykov ??


I guess the closest match is Psammogeton diffusus (Roxb. ex Sm.) Rech.fil. ex Pimenov

This has been pending for a long time. Either it should be a new sp. or the same one since it is not matching with any of the ones I tried.
